Dammn, how should waterpump on a wiper motor works? Wiper motor itself works pretty fine, but when u push the wash, I can hear a "CLICK"noise, but it doesnt spray water.
 
Changed rear axle oils today. Out with the old, look pretty dirty...

Auburn lock with 3.08 🙂 Hoping to buy 3.42 when I'm able to buy and tune up one TH2004R 🙂

New oils are Gulf 80W-90 LS with Ford Racing friction modifier. Should work just fine 🙂
 
Found some slack on the joints of the driveshaft. Took the driveshaft out today, I should have parts to put it back together tomorrow. At the same time the driveshaft is already off, I'm going to change the rear gasket on that th350 transmission 🙂
 
Wondering why the car runs little rufly sometimes and spents some much gas... The carb have started to flood! So rebuilded it 🙂

Nice built!

Do you have found the eibach springs in Europe?

Can you find a th200-4r easily in Finland?

I'm searching one here around Belgium for 6 months!

Keep going!

I wish visiting north Europe, Gatebil in Norway seems to be good!
 
My local US-auto parts store orders stuff from Summit so it wasnt a problem to get those Eibach springs...

And in Finland, we got pretty much Caprices and that kind of cars where u can get a TH200R4, so it isnt really that hard 😉

After work I did something to Cutlass, tightened the front wheel bearings and greased the ball joints. Now works like a dream again 😀 Althought, I have already bought new wheel bearings to front, I'm going to change them, olds are already pretty worn out and I couldn't get the all loose from the wheel bearings.
 
Some of Cutlasses body panels are going to get new fresh coat of paint next week 🙂

I have been thinking about updating the front look of the car. For weight loss, I'm thinking replacing that front bumper with El Camino fiberglass. I have understood, that g-body El Camino has same front bumper? And then, I was thinking about putting an El Camino SS front spoiler.

Would it look good, and is that doable to a Cutlass? Advices needed 🙂
